Crazy cold weather is about to take over, the last Americans detained in North Korea come home, and something wild just flew over Texas.

It's Monday, and here are the "5 things to know for your New Day."

1. FRIGID WEATHER

"Bomb cyclone" strikes: That's not a term we made up. That's what legit meteorologists say is behind the brutal forecast that could leave Minneapolis under a foot of snow and parts of Montana below zero degrees this week.

Last-minute sprint: It's that time, when hundreds of politicians make a mad dash to earn your vote. At stake: All 435 seats in the House and party control in the Senate.

There's more good news on the fight against Ebola in America, ISIS shows another propaganda video with a Western hostage, and a homeless man shows that talent can be found anywhere.

1. EBOLA

Keep calm and carry on: Even though most Americans think there will be another Ebola diagnosis in the coming weeks, the majority are pretty sure the government can prevent a nationwide epidemic, according to the latest CNN/ORC International poll.
